Phrased that way, it suggests that I was out making it snow while still able to stitch...
Extreme Multitasking.
The yellowy ribbon I chain-stitch-couched down is a
Hand Dyed Viscose Tubular Ribbon
that Lorraine sent me as a sample, along with other threads.
She was giving me some of the thread I was using up doing the seed stitching.
Keep scrolling past the snow I made to see the seed stitch in a better pic.

Now back to the stitchy stuff. I had fun doing the seed stitch in this area of the pillow cover. I was stitching down the voile? batiste? Not sure what the fabric bit is actually called, but it has it's own embroidery on it. {got it in a 'grab bag' off ebay loooong ago} Then I thought I would stitch along the lines of the Valori Wells print that showed through....oh, skip to the next pic for a full view.

Then I started on some leafy shapes. I was trying to do an open Raised Fishbone stitch....I kind went wrong somewhere...but I still like it, so it stays for now.
Really like the way you've used the tubular ribbon AND the seed stitching looks fantastic.
